Chapter 47

46. Order Flame Corps

Trouble.

Li Ang originally felt that meeting people from the Order Sky Knight Corps here would make things convenient, but instead, it became a headache.

"Lancelot, how is it exactly you here?"

"It's my turn to patrol the channel. Isn't our corps stationed in the Ignis Airspace?"

The refreshing young man in front of him had brown hair and green eyes, wearing silver-white armor with a flame-like cloak behind him.

He is a member of the elite guard of the Order Sky Knight Corps, and Li Ang happens to know him.

To be precise, he knows quite a few people in their branch corps.

The Order Sky Knight Corps has a huge organization, and its elite guards have combat power no less than the Sky Teams, divided into several branch corps stationed in different airspaces.

The branch corps in the Ignis Airspace is named the Order Flame Corps, with twenty members. Li Ang once cooperated with them. Since then, the team leader, who is called "young lady" by her members, has always been thinking about pulling Li Ang into her corps.

Lancelot in front of him can be considered a friend, because he is someone who could talk well during past cooperation.

Usually, it's impossible to meet the elite guard when handling business at the Order Hall; he didn't expect to bump into them in the sky instead.

Lancelot's hand clamped tightly on Li Ang's shoulder, the metal of the gauntlet digging into him painfully.

Lancelot was full of smiles: "I heard you left the Soul Apex, and the young lady finally waited for an opportunity, rushing directly to the Holy Capital. But after arriving, she couldn't find you anywhere, and when she came back, she threw a temper tantrum at us."

"I have a team."

"What? Which team was so fast?"

Lancelot put his hands on his hips and shook his head: "Sure enough, good assistants are in high demand. That team leader of the Soul Apex played power politics until he became stupid; there are quite a few people waiting to see their jokes."

A good assistant? Li Ang had stayed with the people of the Soul Apex for a long time, and sometimes he would have an illusion—everyone thinks that an assistant should just eat grass and produce milk.

Like many games on Earth, in Newbis's team battles, assistants are also divided into control types, defense types, and buff types. These three categories are the foundation, and combining them with healing, control, damage, and debuff effects to varying degrees makes for an excellent assistant.

And Li Ang? Li Ang can do a little bit of everything, it's just that using him might be relatively expensive.

To exert his effect, he sometimes needs to consume high-rank spellcasting materials, but the advantage is that he can do everything, so there is no need to spend energy to find assistants in other areas or cultivate them specifically. Overall, it's profitable.

But perhaps because he handles everything, some people's thinking just can't turn the corner.

Originally, his moves were mainly to buff his own side, control the battlefield, and supplement combat deficiencies, but some people felt that his lethality was not as good as a spell turret or a melee blade, his healing amount was not as good as a priest who only knows how to heal, and his control power was not as good as an interference warlock with low lethality.

This is like a five-person team in some online games playing a high-difficulty dungeon. A high-level healer can supplement damage output to reduce the difficulty of passing the dungeon, but some people will kick the healer because the damage dealt is not enough. Once an argument starts, it's an endless topic.

So after Li Ang was free, he decided to jump out of this game completely and start his own group, so there would be no such problems.

"The young lady has been cursing you to quit the team since that cooperation... ah no, it's looking forward to it, uh that's not right either. In short, she thinks you are destined not to get along with Rams. Although she is willful, she has no problem seeing people."

"Do you all in the Ignis Airspace know the gossip of the Holy Capital?"

Li Ang calculated, it had only been six days, and his being kicked was already known to everyone?

"No, the circle of high-ranking Sky Knights has been spreading it for a long time. It was originally a team that was a little bit worse in all aspects, not only squeezing into the top four but also jumping to the first place. Doesn't it all depend on you guys being able to disarm that tricky rune mechanism in the Ancient City of Dark Night? Oh right, now it can't be called 'you guys'."

"At that time, many people said that to break the Ancient City of Dark Night, you need a warlock of the Exalted Realm, but there are not many warlocks in the whole sky. Where can you find such a person? Everyone felt that although the Soul Apex had a warlock of this level, the team strength was still a bit lacking, but they didn't expect to fight through it. Afterward, the hero was gone, so this matter will definitely be talked about."

In many ruins of lost civilizations in Newbis, there are complex mechanism traps, and the means required to break them are different. The trickiest one is the mechanism that requires manipulating spirituality to disarm.

Some teams have tried to cultivate specialized warlocks, but when facing high-rank mechanisms, because almost no one has practiced warlock skills to above Rank 7, the investment in cultivation has not been put to practical use.

"Kicking people out was a vote. Anyway, I was voted out, so the one who deserves it must be me."

Li Ang shrugged sarcastically.

"A new journey has begun, isn't this just on the way to register a new team."

Lancelot pointed at him: "So you want to lead a team yourself, okay, I'm optimistic about you. Your tactics before left a deep impression on me, it's just that you have to be careful of the young lady's pursuit. She has been craving... uh, longing for that move of yours that activates full-body spirituality for too long."

"I'm very grateful to you for not dragging me away right now."

Lancelot added: "If you are really caught by the young lady, don't say I've seen you."

The leader of the Order Flame Corps mentioned in the conversation happens to have a high compatibility with Li Ang's warlock skill—Spirituality Activation. After receiving the buff, not only is the improvement multi-dimensional, but because of her constitution, the price paid is also small. Therefore, she gave orders to the team members that whoever sees Li Ang must "persuade" him to join.

Considering her personality, if Li Ang really joined the Flame Corps, I'm afraid she would squeeze him every day and make him infuse her with this buff spell.

So Li Ang was very afraid that Lancelot would drag him to the Flame Corps' station. Using force to escape would be troublesome. Now that he saw he didn't have that intention, he relaxed a lot.

The young man looked at the two stunningly beautiful women behind Li Ang again. In fact, he had just glanced at them a few times.

Zoe and Eden, not to mention their appearance, the two of them, one petite and one voluptuous, the strong contrast itself produced a visual impact that made people unable to ignore.

Discovering the stranger's gaze, Zoe subconsciously hid behind Li Ang.

"These two... aren't your family members, are they? Could it be the team members you picked?"

Li Ang was noncommittal.

"You guy!"

The young man opposite seemed a bit excited: "Is the team you formed a serious team? Is your purpose pure? You won't be let loose after leaving the team, specifically recruiting beauties and then using coercion and inducement to build the Sky Knight Corps into your harem... I will catch people, you know?"

"My purpose is absolutely pure."

"Sigh, just a joke."

Lancelot smiled casually and turned to point to the channel entrance ahead: "Even if I wanted to catch you, I couldn't. Now..."

Zoe whispered: "Don't catch me."

"Hmm?" Lancelot looked back.

"Why are you afraid when you haven't done anything?" Li Ang flicked the little wild cat's forehead twice.

Zoe covered her forehead, her eyes turning around. Li Ang felt that she might have planned something in her heart. Thinking of her habit of making villagers helpless and snatching things from the village children, he always felt that he would have a headache in the future.

Lancelot laughed: "Why would I catch you? If I catch anyone, it would be your team leader."

Zoe quickly hugged Li Ang tightly: "Don't catch Li Ang either. If you have to catch someone, then catch me."

The young man turned to stare at Li Ang: "Now I really suspect you a bit."

Li Ang sighed, holding his forehead.

Lancelot laughed twice and asked: "It seems the atmosphere of the new team is fine. Where did you pick up this child?"

"Trade secret."

"Sigh, I'm just chatting," he sighed: "Anyway, we can't enter the Ignis Airspace now."

"I see you confronting them, what kind of people are they?"

"They call themselves the Sporell Empire."

"Holy Sporell Empire?"

"Yes, yes, how did you know? Wait, this ship of yours..."

Lancelot stood on tiptoe and looked at the ship behind that was transporting soldiers.

"I thought you took a mission to crusade against bandits and pulled a ship full of people. You also had a conflict with this force?"

"I just want to send them to the nearest Order Hall."

Li Ang talked about these people attacking civilians, skipped the parts related to the Star Soul and Zoe, and asked: "Why are they blocking the channel?"

Lancelot had an expression of being amused: "Then you absolutely wouldn't expect that those people said the Ignis Airspace is their territory, so they now refuse outsiders from entering."

"In this situation, isn't it time for the Order Sky Knight Corps to take action?" Li Ang asked.
